The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. It's a growing despair in Novgorod as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager A. Kerzhakov was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Stadion Nizhny Novgorod. FK Nizjni Novgorod suffered a 1-2 loss to Lokomotiv Moskva (placed 2nd). Novgorod were so close to getting something from the game against Lokomotiv Moskva, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal six minutes into overtime. Albert Sharipov got a match rating of 7.25 in that game, top player of the team. Sharipov hit one key pass.
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Fakel.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.
